We are a 'not-too-big' and environmental-friendly hostel with a familiar atmosphere. The location is the best possible in the city centre - safe and quiet, although it’s only a 500 meter walk from the Central Railway & Bus Station. Many of the city’s sights, including the Old Town, can be found within walking distance and the main shopping street, Drottninggatan, is just around the corner.


NO LOW-SEASON!
City BackPackers is designed to be a great meeting place where you are guaranteed to meet and hang out with other travelers from all over the world if you wish so. We never have less than 50 travelers staying with us on any single day of the year. This does not mean that our hostel always is jam-packed with people though.

You can stay in a room with 2, 4, 6, 8, 11 or 12 beds (please note that 2-bedded rooms can normally only be booked directly through the hostel). Female dorms are provided. We also have two apartments/studios for up to 6 people with private bathroom, shower and kitchen.

Note: Sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers are a must-have and in case you do not bring your own, you will have to rent them for 50 SEK. If you bring a sleeping bag, you will need to rent a sheet and a pillow case for 25 SEK or - of course - bring your own.

We have a large fully-equipped guest kitchen within the hostel and also a new cozy in-house backpacker café with breakfast options and a great variety of sandwiches, cookies, snacks and hot & cold drinks all day long! When you want to relax there is a hot sauna and lounge areas with satellite TV, daily newspapers and mini table tennis available. We have quite a lot common areas to hang out and meet other travellers. Every night is movie night when we show a popular Swedish film.

We also offer a very popular and incomparable sauna tour by the sea!

For your security there are lockers both inside and outside the rooms (bring a padlock or buy one for 25 SEK in the reception!). Before you check in or after you have checked out you can keep your luggage in our luggage room. The hostel also keeps a nice courtyard at your disposal.

City BackPackers has an environmental-friendly approach and is working on getting the EU eco-label for accommodation (the flower). This includes among other: waste recycling, electricity from renewable sources, energy efficient whitewares and light bulbs, no smoking and an environmental policy.

City BackPackers is open 365 days a year and has no curfew. No hostel membership is needed.

PLEASE NOTE that you must book for a minimum of 2 nights at the weekend (i e not only Friday or Saturday).

PLEASE ALSO NOTE that should you need to, you should cancel a booking the day before arrival (= minimum 24 hours in advance). If not, the first night will be charged.

Warmly welcome!
